DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that our annual recognition event fo
 r Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences administrative and support staff
  will take place\, in a new format\, from June 9-13. The event\, which was
  previously in-person over a half-day\, will now feature a mix of online a
 nd in-person activities\, some led locally\, over the course of the week. 
   \n\nThe event’s inspiration – to recognize the outstanding work of our d
 edicated staff members – remains its cornerstone. In acknowledgement of th
 e current context\, we have engaged in some deep reflections\, which have 
 led us to adapt our event in a way that is sensitive to ongoing challenges
  and budget constraints\, while remaining steadfast in our mission to brin
 g our community together in the spirit of recognition\, support and connec
 tion.   \n\nWe believe it is more important than ever to come together\, a
 s we weather these challenges. We sincerely hope that the FMHS Community R
 ecognition Event for Administrative and Support Staff 2025 will bring\, in
  a small way\, some positivity and reassurance into our workplace by bring
 ing us closer and offering a chance to say THANK YOU to our valued colleag
 ues. We hope you can join us. \n	\n	PRACTICAL INFO: \n\n\n	When: June 9-13 (p
